Everybody's Fool

perfect by nature
icons of self indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that

never was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me
you know you've got everybody fooled

look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now i know she

never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

without the mask where will you hide
can't find yourself lost in your lie

i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore

it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now you're everybody's fool

Mea Culpa

Ok, I admit, I have not updated this blog in ages.... I have been updating the Portuguese one much more, just because I found out writing in Portuguese is like therapy for me. It's like been back to Brazil, back home. Also, I found some very interesting people which are also bloggers and expats. It's nice to read about experiences so like mine, and see that what I miss, is generally missed by everyone else...

I have put this one into second plan, as I don't have as much free time as I used to. Work has been hectic, and when I get home I just do not want to sit in front of the computer. I think we all know this feeling.

Funny how life changes. There was a time in my life I thought I was going to have such and such. And now, I don't have such and such, but I have this and those instead. Mostly for the better I suppose. I stopped living wth the "what if's" of life. I just grab whatever comes my way as a blessing. Yeah, I still have wishes. But I don't have a concrete dream anymore. Some 10 years ago, I had many dreams, some that I am proud to have achieved, some I am proud to have admitted defeat. I am not proud of not having a dream now. It's hard to live without dreams, you know? I mean, I have some stuff I'd like to do and see, but nothing that strikes me like a thunder and makes my heart race... I am fullfilled, I am happy, but being as human as anyone else, I can't ever be completely satisfied. And that bothers me. Feels like my life is always missing something, an objectve, a target, a dream to make come true...

In the end, it's all because of who I am, and that's mea culpa.
